GREEN BAY - I have been watching as television ads by Kevin Nicholson and Leah Vukmir declare that one is more conservative than the other.

Frankly, who cares. I don't think being a modern day conservative (MDC) is anything to be proud of.

Being a MDC means you are for a balanced budget when Democrats are in control but not when Republicans are.

Being a MDC means you are all for giving corporations tax payer money and favor tax breaks for the wealthy at the expense of a shrinking middle class. A middle class that is the reason the wealthy are wealthy. A MDC thinks its just fine that a Supreme Court justice nomination can be tabled by the minority till after the next election, but won't offer the same consideration once they are in control.

Frankly, I really don't see why these two candidates would be bragging about who is the real conservative, it really is no badge of honor at all. A real conservative cares about all the voters, even the liberal ones. In Wisconsin, it is very apparent that this conservative administration only cares about the people who agree with them. Real conservatives, I think not.
